Yeah it is hard. But you do learn from it. I think when you really like someone it’s easy to keep on holding on to a glimmer of hope. There’s a doc who episode where Martha, the doc’s companion decides she has to leave the doc because she likes him and he’s still in love with his previous companion..Whilst you’re around the person, it’s hard to give up on them.
God I had some bad crushes when I was young. You can live of a crush when you’re young..maybe not so young. And I don’t see crushes as trivial like an SF might
I think one has to be particularly careful with dating apps. My sister really doesn’t like them..you get thrown together with people who seem kinda interesting..but you don’t really know why- often you don’t have much in common. I think this can make attraction and chemistry dynamics more confusing. Although they do seem to work for people in the end..
atm I’m looking for interaction that simply feels light and simple
edit: I give up on dating apps lol, like I now have no expectations from anyone I match with.
